Headed out yesterday as the temperature in NY was near 60. It was a tad bit overcast and I expected rain. The rain wasn't to be an issue this particular afternoon however. I hit an area that I have hit hard in the past. While doing my thing, I noticed an area of trees that I definitely hadn't hit before. They were a bit further away and closer to the road. Beautiful, statuesque Oaks that I had some how missed in the past. I wish I hadn't spied them yesterday. Most people avoid Poison Oak as it is highly recognizable when it is above ground . Of course, I had to dig this awesome signal that my DFX was singing. Got down on my knees, dug a nice hole...hit a root. Pulled out my trusty pocket key-hole saw and proceeded to do away with that pesky root. Well..the root got the last laugh as today (in early March), I am covered with poison oak .
I mean I am a huge Poison Ivy junkie. I usually get it 3 or 4 times a season but poison oak This early in the dam season? So as a reminder folks..you can get all sorts of nasty's when digging including the many varieties of poison plant oils..either from the plant or the root . SO WEAR YOUR GLOVES!! And whatever you do, don't touch yourself in that special place. John Holmes would be envious of swollen %&*$.
As to the signal...it was an old Willy's headlight, complete with wire mesh safety cover. *sigh*
